Manchester United 'hold Jan Oblak talks'

A report claims that the representative of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak flew to England earlier this week to meet with Manchester United.

Manchester United have reportedly held talks with the representatives of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak, as the English giants prepare for the potential departure of David de Gea.

Speculation linking De Gea with a move to Real Madrid has gathered pace once again, with the Madrid outfit said to be increasingly confident of completing a deal for Spain's number one at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.

Despite the presence of experienced Argentine Sergio Romero at Old Trafford, it is understood that Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho will move for a new goalkeeper if De Gea seeks pastures new.

According to Manchester Evening News, Oblak's representatives flew to England earlier this week to meet with Man United ahead of a potential move to Old Trafford in this summer's transfer window.

Oblak, who has an £85m release clause inserted into his current contract, is understood to be 'open' to leaving Madrid for Man United if De Gea, as expected, switches to the Bernabeu.

The 24-year-old moved to Atletico from Portuguese outfit Benfica in the summer of 2014.
